I make my living with old cars.
Everyday I drive 13.3 miles to my office along a twisty, rural state highway that features far more scenery than traffic.
Everyday, since the weather has warmed a bit, I see a few vintage cars being used as God intended...they are being used for daily transportation.
This week I have seen (and I've spotted all of these cars multiple times) a red 'Big' Healey, a burgundy TR6, a '66 Chevy Nova SS and a '71 Mercury Cyclone 429. One female banker here in town drives her '36 Plymouth Street Rod to work everyday from April until the snow flies...and has done so for over 15 years.
Yesterday afternoon a parade of seven Ford Model A's (along with a '62 Lincoln) stopped next door at the local ice cream stand...they were taking a break from a 400 mile roundtrip visit to an area car show that is being held today.
One of the A's was an unrestored, former Chicago taxi cab with over 100,000 miles on it. The folks have owned the car for 50 years! With no desire to 'upgrade' the car (my favorite word!), they routinely drive it weekly with every dent and paint blemish a reminder that old cars don't have to be pristine showpieces to be fun and affordable.
All of this driving talk makes me more determined to get that old TR off of the lift and back onto the street...
